dwd, it's extremely light.
The threaded turnbuckle and connecting linkage are plastic, as well as the pickup hook. The only thing that's metal is the square mounting plate, and the smaller striking plate which the adjustment screw comes up to make contact with.
Having said that it's mostly plastic, I've still found this rest to be extremely rugged and dependable, and have pulled it up through several tangles numerous times this year. I've walked through head-high CRP fields with briars that pulled at me and broke my Fitz fibers several times, and the rest itself was no worse for the wear.
Very cool Greg, thanks for the review. I may have to talk my dad into putting one on his bow so that I check it out. Well done on the review.
